I tried to make them years ago and erred very very seriously in the amount of salt that I added. That was one puckery little dinner. I ahven't made them myself recently, but now you're sure making me want to.Prudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14163107781644008543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-25200762860229120092008-10-26T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-26T12:10:00.000-04:00Audrey, you're on!

Regan, but I may have met him at some point. C-ville is beautiful but I have always heard that the social strata there can be a bit isolating. You have the landed gentry, the sports-and-entertainment types, the faculty, etc., and they don't mix all that well. We had friends from our law school class, and the husband went to work for the law school (but not as a prof) and the faculty weren't particularly friendly to them.<BR/>NancyNancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-34275127399604573332008-10-26T12:05:00.000-04:002008-10-26T12:05:00.000-04:00Well, considering that potatoes are practically th...Well, considering that potatoes are practically the national dish in Germany, I'd imagine you could get every variety there. But if you can't find fingerlings, you can use any thin-skinned/ new potatoes (like those little red ones). Just cut them into large-ish pieces and you're good to go. You can most likely use any salt, too, because it melts in the water as it boils.<BR/>NancyNancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-90214155399209229052008-10-26T10:21:00.000-04:002008-10-26T10:21:00.000-04:00These look amazing.

Father Carrier married my best friend and he...Wow! Father Carrier married my best friend and her husband (they actually live in Fairfield now -- we hope to visit them over Thanksgiving!) Father Regan (do you remember him?) married David and me -- I just loved him. When we were meeting with him before the wedding and going over options for music, he said "now, these are the approved selections, and if you have your heart set on something else, I think it is easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission." That's my kind of priest! (Turns out that David and I are just boring Pachelbel/Trumpet Voluntary/Ave Maria sorts anyway)!<BR/><BR/>My parents bought a little house here after my second child was born, so they split time between here and CT. We don't get back as often as we used to because getting there is quite the production with three kids, and my parents are here half the year, but my sister is still in CT (in Stamford) and other family and many great friends are there, so I always love getting back.<BR/><BR/>I do think that C'Ville is God's country. It will be hard for us (especially David) not to "strongly encourage" the kids to go to UVA when the time comes! We still look at the "properties" in Albermarle Country whenever the alumni magazine comes, and pick out the ones that look like suitable retirement homesteads. ;)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212460245206539222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-31163168464742722132008-10-25T00:10:00.000-04:002008-10-25T00:10:00.000-04:00I'll bet my husband and brother in law would like ...I'll bet my husband and brother in law would like them.

We just MUST have. My parents went to Mass most Sundays at Fairfield U, and I always went there when we visited (with my girls). Father Carrier was our favorite priest - we were always challenged by his homilies.<BR/><BR/>Like your husband I was a "7 year man" at UVa - in fact I started college as the 5th class that included women (but they ramped up very quickly, so the numbers were pretty even, if the attitudes lagged just a tad).<BR/><BR/>When I've driven with my daughter to her school in Massachusetts, we take I-81 and try to detour to C-ville for a sandwich at Foods and a grillswith on the Corner. Fitting in the food and the beautiful sights - the mountains and the lakes - are nearly insurmountable hurdles for a short visit. As a result of those visits, my daughter is now talking about UVa Law in a few years!<BR/><BR/>I was in CT a few weeks ago - at an island off of Mystic - and the leaves were just beginning to turn. It's so pretty there in the Autumn.<BR/><BR/>NancyNancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-74492648360868094012008-10-24T20:20:00.000-04:002008-10-24T20:20:00.000-04:00We love anything by Alton Brown, and I'm sure thes...We love anything by Alton Brown, and I'm sure these will be no exception.

I've never heard of salt potatoes before -- clearly, I need to get myself to more Central NY fairs! -- but they sound really great! I'd just wash it down with a funnel cake.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit that I had one of those "whoa! It's a small world!" moments when I saw your comment earlier! Yes, David and I graduated from UVA Law in '97 (he went to college there, too). I'm from Prospect, CT, and went to college at Fairfield University (spooky small world!) We actually got married in Fairfield, at the Fairfield U. chapel, by one of my favorite Jesuits! Sounds like we are a year apart on the "Reunions" cycle at UVA -- we were in C'Ville in May 'O7 for our 10 year. The hard part about going back is figuring out how to fit in all the eating that we want to do in such a short period of time!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212460245206539222noreply@blogger.com
